You're confusing me with someone who cares. :)

Not to nitpick, but Reagan was closer to a fusionist conservative than a neoconservative.

I intend to memorialize Reagan by teaching my daughter everything Reagan believed in.

At least Reagan was not a Neoconfusionist.

The really great thing about Reagan was his ability to weave many disparate factions of conservatism together based upon common principles & beliefs, laying aside differences.

He is sorely missed.

Okay, then.

Popcorn (with LOTS of butter), check.

Mountain Dew, check.

Honey-roasted peanuts, check.

Nachos, check.

Pizza, check.

Stacker 2 to make sure I don't put on an extra 20 pounds, check.

I'm all set for the show, folks. :)

It's a little sad watching many attempting to compare President Reagan to what ever fits their political agendas.

This is one of my favorites of all that has been written in the last few days. I don't care about the labels, it well captures the optimism and belief in democratic virtues that made the President and his message irresistible.

President Reagan was a neo conservative(new conservative)...Once he was a dem and he saw the light of what had happened to the party. He saw the influence of the communists inside the Hollywood unions.

He was called a monster for saying government was not the answer but the problem. His philosophy evolved and he became the leader of a new conservative renewal.

Without his inspiration years before, welfare reform would not have come to be.
